Beachboy,
We could see a distinct glow in that direction from our place in Kaohe Homesteads.
Here's the HVO daily Update as of early this morning:
Kilauea Daily Update issued Aug 10, 2007 06:01 HST Volcanic-Alert Level WATCH - Aviation Color Code ORANGE
Report prepared by the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO):
Summary: A lava river fed from fissure segment D began a few hours of overflowing just after midnight. The lava flow it feeds appears to be burning more forest on the south side of the older Pu`u `O`o lava flow over which it is currently advancing.
last 24 hours at 7/21 eruption site: Fissure segment C continued spurting. Fissure segment D continued to feed a channel flowing to the northeast. That channel began to overflow mostly on its north side about 30 minutes after midnight. Views from the webcam show that the flow front continues to burn forest on its south side. An overflight is planned today.
Vent areas are hazardous and conditions can change rapidly. Access to the 7/21 eruption site in the Kahauale`a Natural Area Reserve is closed. A press release is available at http://www.state.hi.us/dlnr/chair/pio/Ht...7-N076.htm.
last 24 hours at Pu`u `O`o crater: The webcam is no longer sending images and will be checked during today's overflight; it may need replacing. The tiltmeter on the north flank of Pu`u `O`o cone recorded about one microradian of deflation from a source to the east, probably the 7/21 fissures. Seismic tremor levels at Pu`u `O`o and nearby areas remained low.
last 24 hours at Kilauea summit: The tiltmeter network recorded slow deflation. Seismic tremor levels remained low. A few small shallow earthquakes were again located beneath Halema`uma`u crater. Seismic tremor levels remain low.
